'Geophagus' crassilabris ~ Progression Thread

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Great pictures! That being said, the pictures dont do these guys justice. They are rockin'! Spunky guys for sure!

Thanks bro. Yeah the pics are not that great but I've promising an update for a while. I feel bad waiting for "good pics". They will be 10" long before I figure out what I'm doing...

Preopercle?

I agree on the colors, the red dorsal plus green muzzle plus gold along the vent area makes for a great combination.
 
Nice fish and pics.

Pic Tip: Get yourself a set of radio triggers so you wont have to use the on camera flash to trigger the speedlight. You'll be much happier with the results.
 
Looking good! Nice to see what mine will grow into. My first group of 4 is about 1.5" and about a month ago I added another 5 around .75". Keep the updates coming.
 
The anterior opercle?

Is that the proper term for anothing forward of the eye? Also thank you very much for all the photography advice over the years. Much appreciated.


Thanks guys. Yeah I am in need of a remote trigger asap. At least I got the speedlight out of the way. Now down to cheap parts left to pick up. Stay tuned.

Did you get your from the wet spot as well? If so these are from the same brood.

Well the opercle is the "gill plate" which is made up of four bones (of which the preopercle is one). Anterior would be the forward portion of it (toward the head).

Perfect I'll try to remember that. Thanks for the info.
